I share the real-life stories that inspired my books, as well as other travel adventures, and posts on the food, history, and culture of the Southwest United States.

Counterfeits

“Counterfeits is “the kind of romantic suspense novel I have
enjoyed since I first read Mary Stewart’s Moonspinners.” 5 Stars – Roberta at
Sensuous Reviews blogPainter Jenny Kinley has spent the last decade struggling in
the New York art world. Her grandmother’s sudden death brings her home to New
Mexico, but inheriting the children’s art camp her grandmother ran is more of a
burden than a gift. How can she give up her lifelong dreams of showing her work
in galleries and museums?

Rob Caruso, the camp cook and all-around handyman, would be
happy to run the camp with Jenny. Dare he even dream of that, when his past
holds dark secrets that he can never share? When Jenny’s father reappears after
a decade-long absence, only Rob knows where he’s been and what danger he’s
brought with him.

Jenny and Rob face midnight break-ins and make desperate
escapes, but the biggest danger may come from the secrets that don’t want to
stay buried. In the end, they must decide whether their dreams will bring them
together or force them apart.

"Kris Bock used
all the things I love about this genre. Appealing lead characters, careful
development of the mysterious danger facing one or both of those characters, a
great location that is virtually a character on its own, interesting secondary
characters who might or might not be involved or threatened, and many surprises
building up to the climax. 5 Stars" – Roberta at Sensuous Reviews blog

“Counterfeits actually kept me guessing! Anyone who reads my
reviews regularly knows how rarely that happens. I had theories and was on the
right track, but I wasn’t quite there, and I was surprised when certain facts
were revealed. I love when a writer manages to do that to me. Grab Counterfeits
and keep trying to guess. Be surprised like I was.” – Rochelle Weber, Roses
& Thorns Reviews

Counterfeits is romantic suspense in the Southwest that will
interest fans of Terry Odell, Mary Stewart, Lillian Stewart Carl, and Barbara
Michaels.
